Question
i was on the depo injection for 3 months but decided i wanted a child so didnt go for my next one. i had one period near the end of those 3 months but since i have been off for this month i havent had anything, how do i now if its effected me long term? and when will i be able to concieve?

Answer
Hi Jessica,

Please check with your doctor about this. I can't really tell you when you can conceive. That is more of a question for your doctor.
Your period could be irregular because of having the injection of hormones and then not having this injection again. You won't be able to tell if it's affected you long term unless you keep trying to be pregnant.
Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and let me know what happens.

Sincerely,
